! With Curly Like Me Teri talks about how growing up biracial contributed to her hair issues. Her "Momsey" (her black grandmother on her mom's side) did her hair every night and relaxed it every few months, it grew partway down her back but Teri describes her relaxed hair as a "fragile creature". Once Momsey no longer cared for her hair, it was a supreme struggle from there, hair styles included dreads, jericurls, relaxers, and more. Curly Like Me doesn't just give you background on Teri's hair and her struggles, instead it shows readers how to care for curls using simple money saving techniques. But it doesn't stop there, within the pages of Curly Like Me you will find information on hair structure, causes of damage, what ingredients to use, as well as some hairstyles that look great for curls.
